Air-Powered Computer Enhances Medical Device Safety

Innovative pneumatic system reduces costs and increases reliability for blood clot prevention technologies.

The air-powered computer uses pneumatic logic to detect failures in medical compression devices.
It replaces electronic sensors, making devices cheaper and safer in various environments.
The system operates using air pressure differentials and parity bit calculations for error detection.
A whistle alerts users to any detected issues, ensuring timely maintenance and repairs.
Future applications include creating air-powered robots for hazardous tasks in explosive environments.
